On Saturday, Fang Zhicheng took a bus and spent several hours arriving at Qiongjin. After leaving the station, he saw Zhu Youming standing not far away with a cigarette in his mouth and looking around with wandering eyes. Zhu Youming is short-sighted.
, didn’t like wearing glasses, so his eyes looked deep and blurry. When he got closer, Zhu Youming stared at him carefully before throwing the cigarette butt on his mouth to the ground and stamping it out. He walked over to Fang Zhicheng with a smile and punched Fang Zhicheng in the chest.
, said: "I've finally waited for you, kid."
Fang Zhicheng patted the silver Volkswagen Bora behind him and said with a smile: "You're doing well. I'm afraid this car costs over 100,000 yuan, right?"
"Second-hand cars, for transportation." Zhu Youming waved his hand and said mockingly, "We know each other well, so there is no need to ridicule each other."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and got into the passenger seat. Zhu Youming chatted with Fang Zhicheng while driving. Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they talked a lot about each other, mainly around the recent whereabouts of their classmates. The best university in Huainan Province is Qiongjin University, followed by
Huainan University. Zhu Youming and Fang Zhicheng are both Grade 2000 students in the Department of Business Administration of the Business School of Huainan University. During their college days, they did a lot of immoral things, so they developed a good relationship.
The car finally stopped at Qiongjin University Town. After Zhu Youming graduated from university, he started his own business and opened a hotel in the university town. However, the business was not very prosperous, so he borrowed money from Fang Zhicheng some time ago. Fang Zhicheng browsed in the hotel
After a while, I roughly knew the reason for the sluggish business, but I didn't say it directly.
At noon, Zhu Youming ordered some stir-fried dishes at a small restaurant next door to meet Fang Zhicheng. He had just graduated from college less than half a year ago and was already not used to the environment around the school. Fang Zhicheng picked up a chopstick of fried pork with salt and said with a smile: "Go to school."
At that time, I loved eating this stuff the most, why don’t I feel the same after eating it now?”
Zhu Youming smiled and said: "Isn't it because your life is so comfortable that you have become naughty?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand, took a sip of beer, smiled slightly, and said: "It's not that I'm being naughty, it's that people have changed."
Zhu Youming laughed and scolded: "You birdman, why are you talking about so many vicissitudes of life? Could it be that the mechanism is really as terrifying as the legend says and can extremely reduce people's adrenaline?"
"What does it have to do with adrenaline?" Fang Zhicheng rolled up his sleeves and clinked glasses with Zhu Youming, "No matter you get older or younger, as long as there are changes, it is a good thing. A life that remains the same is so boring!"
Zhu Youming nodded slightly, with a solemn look on his face, and sighed: "But change always comes with a price."
Because of paying the price, people will adjust their previous worldview and values.
Fang Zhicheng lit a cigarette and said softly: "Let's change the topic. How is your relationship with Meijia?"
Zhu Youming shrugged and said, "It's not like that. We meet once a week. She has her own work and I have my own life."
Wang Meijia is Zhu Youming's girlfriend. The two have been dating for almost four years. Their relationship was relatively stable in college, but judging from Zhu Youming's attitude, there seems to be a small problem.
Fang Zhicheng shook his finger and asked, "Did something happen?"
Zhu Youming picked up a piece of boiled meat with chopsticks, chewed it in his mouth, took another sip of beer, and whispered: "We broke up."
"No way?" Fang Zhicheng frowned, with a look of surprise on his face, because Zhu Youming and Wang Meijia are a couple that everyone is optimistic about. Although the college graduation season is also the season when lovers break up, Zhu Youming and Wang Meijia no matter they are
The family and character are very good, so when he heard the news that the two broke up, Fang Zhicheng couldn't help but sigh.
Zhu Youming also lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and said with a wry smile: "I can see clearly now, what is more important than money in this world? So I want to make money as soon as possible and become a rich man. What kind of woman will I want then?"
Can’t find it?”
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and didn't say much. He changed the subject and talked about his hotel with Zhu Youming, "Second brother, I have a suggestion for your hotel. I just want to talk about it. Don't pay too much attention to it."
Zhu Youming waved and smiled: "I regard you as my partner now. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to ask!"
"Partner?" Fang Zhicheng asked doubtfully.
Zhu Youming nodded, with a slightly embarrassed expression, and said: "I have already spent most of the 30,000 yuan you gave me, and some of it is used as working capital. According to the current situation, I estimate that within one or two years, I will not be able to get back the money."
, so I think you can invest in it and wait until you make a lot of money in the future to pay you dividends. Of course, if you are afraid of risks, these 30,000 yuan will be lent to me. After a while, I will find a way to pay it back.
you……"
"It's not that troublesome." Fang Zhicheng smiled and said nonchalantly: "Think of it as a shareholding. Civil servants get a dead salary. If I can climb a big tree like yours and make a fortune, that's not bad."
Zhu Youming said sincerely: "Fourth brother, I have to say that your money is a timely help. Without your help, my early money would have been wasted."
Fang Zhicheng wondered: "Why is it so difficult all of a sudden? According to your personality, you always make decisions before taking action, and you will never do anything you are not sure about. Is there something wrong with it?"
Zhu Youming sighed and said: "It's hard to explain in one sentence. The king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with. People from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the fire brigade often come to make trouble. I don't want to deal with it, so I fined a lot of money. Now they often come to find trouble..."
Fang Zhicheng said softly: "You're not looking for a relationship?"
Zhu Youming said helplessly: "What does it have to do with me? I had a falling out with my family because of the Meijia incident, and now I have left home. I also suspect that the old man arranged it deliberately and forced me to go home and apologize."
Fang Zhicheng and Zhu Youming drank another drink and sighed: "You are father and son, what conflict cannot be resolved?"
Zhu Youming waved his hand weakly and said with a wry smile: "The old man is too stubborn. He wants me to be his puppet for the rest of my life. I will never bow to him."
Zhu Youming had very bad luck. Although Wang Meijia came from a good family, she could not meet the standards of Zhu Youming's father, so his father was extremely opposed to his lover being together. In order to fight for love, Zhu Youming did not hesitate to fall out with his family, but he did not expect that now Wang Meijia would
I broke up with Zhu Youming. If you think about it, you will know that Zhu Youming is in a very low mood now.
It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help when the time is right. At this moment, if you extend your hand to Zhu Youming, it will undoubtedly be the best way to maintain the relationship.
Fang Zhicheng patted Zhu Youming on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "I'll give you a call. Maybe I can help you solve this problem."
After saying that, Fang Zhicheng called Zhao Qingya. Zhao Qingya was doing a spa treatment in the beauty room. Hearing his purpose, he lazily sat up from the massage bed and said with a smile: "Bad boy, do you think that my sister is a snake oil?"
If you have any problems, call me."
"Who told me that I only have a big backer like you?" Fang Zhicheng said flatteringly, "This is my brother's first property, you must help."
Zhao Qingya waved her hand, asking the masseuse to stop temporarily, and said softly: "If I help you do this, is there any benefit?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said: "What good can I do? Otherwise, I can just give me to you."
"You have been mine for a long time." Zhao Qingya curled her lips and said sarcastically.
Fang Zhicheng replied tactfully: "Since I am yours, my affairs are naturally your affairs."
Zhao Qingya nodded and said with a smile: "If you explain it like this, I have to help you... I will make a call later and it should be solved soon. By the way, I want to explain that if you really make a lot of money, but
Don’t forget sister.”
Fang Zhicheng nodded in agreement: "Am I like that kind of ungrateful person?"
"Like!" Zhao Qingya deliberately stimulated.
Fang Zhicheng shrugged and smiled bitterly: "Sister, you are hurting me again. Sooner or later, I will have to make you pay with blood."
"Let's talk after the wings are hardened." Zhao Qingya imagined Fang Zhicheng's angry appearance and was overjoyed. Seeing the masseuse next to her urging her with gestures, she said softly, "I have something to do. Let's talk later when we are free.
Well, I will help you with that matter you mentioned."
When Fang Zhicheng hung up the phone, Zhu Youming's eyes showed a sly look and asked in a low voice: "Girlfriend?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and denied, "No, I am a sister with whom I have a very good relationship."
"Okay!" Zhu Youming gave a thumbs up and praised: "Sister-brother love has more potential. Tell me honestly, how does a mature woman taste? Isn't it more exciting?"
Fang Zhicheng laughed and scolded: "It's not as dirty as you think."
Zhu Youming showed a look of disbelief on his face and said softly: "What is our relationship? Do we need to be so modest? In college, there were a total of six guys in our dormitory. Except for you, they all had girlfriends. I have always suspected your sex.
You have a problem with your orientation, and I’m really curious. What kind of woman is she who can straighten you out?”
Fang Zhicheng frowned and feigned anger: "Don't be mean with your mouth, otherwise, I will really get angry!"
Zhu Youming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this topic for now. You just said that you have opinions about the hotel, so you might as well talk about it. What I lack most now is opinions."
Fang Zhicheng just called to help him settle something, which made him feel happy. Starting a business is something that sounds beautiful, but is actually quite difficult. Now that he has a partner, Zhu Youming's previously low confidence is now starting to burn again.
stand up.
Fang Zhicheng tapped his fingers on the table and whispered: "I think your hotel is too high-end."
"High-end?" Zhu Youming couldn't understand.
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said: "The hotel is very popular near the hotel, but most of the customers are students. Your hotel has a fresh decoration style and complete internal facilities, including a computer room and business suites, but the purchasing power of students is not high.
One night in a hotel costs half a month's living expenses, who can afford it?"
Zhu Youming nodded and said with a wry smile: "There are many low-rent houses near the university town. I originally considered it to differentiate and compete."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said: "The idea is good, but if you want to differentiate and compete, you must have enough time to slowly change customers' consumption habits. College students are used to living in low-priced houses. In the short term, it will be difficult to accept high-end
hotels, and their spending power determines that they cannot afford the price you offer."
Zhu Youming looked solemn and asked doubtfully: "You mean we should take the low-end route?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled enigmatically and said softly: "We should take the cost-effective route and take my girlfriend to enjoy the taste of a five-star hotel at the price of renting a private house. How about that?"
Zhu Youming smiled bitterly and said: "The advertisement is good, but you can't do a loss-making business, right?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and smiled: "Of course you can't lose money. You have to make a plan first and set the price according to the standard of the house being fully occupied every day. I just made a preliminary calculation. You have a total of sixty rooms. If the price of a single room is 80 yuan,
With a daily income of 4,800 yuan, after deducting the maintenance cost of 3,000 yuan, there is still an income of 1,800 yuan, and you can earn 54,000 yuan every month; far more than your current single room price of 180 yuan, less than 15 room occupancy rates, and daily losses.
300 yuan is more reasonable. During promotions, special price rooms and high-end rooms can be converted at any time. No one knows how many special price rooms you launch every day. Different customers set different prices to ensure full occupancy.
for the ultimate goal.”
Zhu Youming roughly understood what Fang Zhicheng meant and analyzed: "You mean, all of my sixty rooms are actually special rooms priced at 80 yuan, but in fact, they are limited to what is announced to the public?"
"You can teach me." Fang Zhicheng nodded and said with a smile: "If someone feels that the special price room is not high enough, the front desk can provide high-end rooms at any time. The special price room of 80 yuan can also be converted into 280 yuan and sold!"
Zhu Youming clicked his tongue and praised: "You are so cunning."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said: "If you don't have business, you won't be a traitor!"
